]]>Man of Steel continues its casting parade with Henry Lennix, a veteran actor best known from his work in Ray and The Matrix franchise, as General Swanwick. While it’s pretty clear that “General Swanwick” will be an army dude, beyond that, the role of his character isn’t clear. He could play the trigger-happy military dude that wants to shoot Superman out of the sky. There’s always that role.

For the 23rd installment of the James Bond franchise, it would seem we’re becoming reacquainted with an old friend by the name of Moneypenny, Bond’s administrative boss that has been conspicuously absent during the previous Daniel Craig entries. The role will be played this time around by Naomie Harris, who made a name for herself in 28 Days Later. She should really start practicing her eye-rolling now when Bond tells her that he’s “polled the electorate” or makes some pun on the word “come.”

Ten years ago when she starred in 28 Days Later, Naomie Harris was poised to become a breakout star. And then she didn’t. But now she might.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean hag has been offered an opportunity to shed her rotted teeth and dreadlocks and appear as a Bond Girl in Bond 23. Harris confirmed to Shadow and Act that she was indeed offered a role, though she didn’t specify which it would be. Some outlets report she’ll play Bond’s sexy sidekick but we’re not sure if that means she’ll be the female lead or just one of the many that the lothario spy will squirm around on top of while crying. Frieda Pinto, Olivia Wilde, and Megan Fox have also been rumored to be joining the project in the past few years. Alas, only one can take the role. I think a tickle-fight is the only fair way to decide. I’ll warm my fingers.
